Olivia Dunham quotes from Fringe

Olivia

Peter, what is happening to me?

Peter

Hey.

Peter

You know, until this year I'd never actually been to a mental hospital.

Olivia

Learn to like new things.

Broyles

We have another monster on the loose?

Olivia

Ah, no sir. Walter said the teeth marks are definitely human.

Broyles

I can just about remember when a suspect being human was a given, not an option.

Olivia

What process?

To create super soldiers.

Olivia

Super-soldiers.

Yes. Like Khan Noonian Singh.To defend us in the coming war.

Olivia

What war?

Peter

I'm sorry. The Khan?

Yes.

Peter

As in The Wrath of...?

Yes.

Peter

Let me guess. This war, it's against...

The Romulans. Renegade Romulans from the future, here to change the timeline. The sworn enemy of the Federation.

Peter

The Federation. That would be the United Federation of Planets.

Yes.

Peter

Hmm. And you know this because?

I am the son of Sarek.

Peter

Which makes you Spock.

Yes.

Peter

Well, Mr. Spock, thank you for your time. We'll let you get back to the bridge now.

Live long and prosper.

Olivia

What did Jones want from you? What did he do to you in the elevator?

Nina

He stole a very powerful... energy cell that Dr. Bell hid within my arm.

Olivia

What can he do with it?

Nina

Unfortunately, the question is, what can't he do?

Olivia

What are you doing here?

Walter

We're trying to plug a hole in the universe. What are you doing here?

Olivia

Where am I? Who are you?

William Bell

The answer to your first question is... it's very complicated. The answer to your second... I'm William Bell.

Olivia

So who was she?

Peter

Walter thinks that she was a shape-changing soldier from another universe. He thinks that might be where you went. Hmm. Do you think it's a bad sign that I can say that out loud and neither one of us thinks I'm crazy?

Olivia

She thought I knew where something was hidden.

Peter

No matter what happened to you and no matter where you went, Walter will figure it out. Olivia, I need to ask you something.

Olivia

Sure.

Peter

Einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera toy. You said that to me just after you woke up. Do you remember?

Olivia

No. Latin?

Peter

Nuh-uh. Greek. My mother used to say that to me every night before I went to bed.

Olivia

There really is no point where things can't get weirder, is there? What does it mean?

Peter

It means be a better man than your father.

Peter

Did you check the drawers?

Olivia

Nope. Anything I've forgotten, they can keep. I don't want to spend another minute here. I'm, uh, no good at sitting around.

Peter

You're also no good at letting people help you.

Olivia

[smiling] Oh, I'll let you carry my suitcase.

Olivia

Maybe I should wait outside.

Peter

Then what would I do? You're the one with a gun.

Olivia

Walter? Have you made any headway?

Walter

I can't lose him again.

Olivia

Walter, I know you're worried, we all are, but we can get Peter back. We just need you to find a way to disable Tyler.

Walter

Peter always helps me. I don't know what to do. How do I do this without Peter? He always helps me.

Olivia

He helps me, too, but you can do this.

Peter

So how many are there? Is it bad?

Olivia

Did you eat?

Peter

Yeah.

Olivia

Well, that's unfortunate.

Olivia

I didn't know you spoke Cantonese.

Peter

Get to know me a bit.

Peter

Third patient: Stuart Gordon. Just like Mr. Crampton, fourteen years ago Dr. Paris refers him to a mental hospital with the psychiatric equivalent of a cough, which then develops to full-blown schizophrenia. Two days ago he miraculously recovers. Apparently Mr. Gordon thought he was the actor Sydney Greenstreet and walked around quoting Casablanca. That's funny.

Olivia

What?

Peter

I think he looks a lot more like Peter Lorre. [awkward pause as Olivia doesn't laugh] That's a joke.

Olivia

You know, all my life I've been able to understand what drives people: their emotions, like greed, or envy, revenge, but Newton? These people we're up against? How can I fight what I don't understand?

Peter

Olivia, I know you think you're alone in this. Maybe that's because of what Bell told you, maybe that's just your personality, but this isn't just your fight.
